It’s been a whirlwind 24 hours for French actress Marion Cotillard, after she was accused of having an affair with Brad Pitt and possibly being pregnant with his baby.

Obviously that’s a lot for her to deal with, but instead of putting her head in the sand and hiding out, Marion has decided to deliver the following interpretation of events via her Instagram account. It’s in French and English, because she’s cool like that:

This is going to be my first and only reaction to the whirlwind news that broke 24 hours ago and that I was swept up into. I am not used to commenting on things like this nor taking them seriously but as this situation is spiraling and affecting people I love, I have to speak up. Firstly, many years ago, I met the man of my life, father of our son and of the baby we are expecting. He is my love, my best friend, the only one that I need. Secondly to those who have indicated that I am devastated, I am very well thank you. This crafted conversation isn’t distressing. And to all the media and the haters who are quick to pass judgment, I sincerely wish you a swift recovery. Finally, I do very much wish that Angelina and Brad, both whom I deeply respect, will find peace in this very tumultuous moment. With all my love Marion Ceci sera la première et seule réaction que j’aurai concernant la déferlante inouïe qui à commencé il y a de ça 24 heures et à laquelle je suis mêlée malgré moi. Je n’ai pas pour habitude de commenter ni de prendre au sérieux le tas d’absurdités déversées à mon sujet mais la situation prenant une telle tournure et affectant des gens que j’aime, je me dois de m’exprimer. Pour commencer, j’ai rencontré il y a quelques années l’homme de ma vie , le père de notre fils et du bébé que nous attendons aujourd’hui. Il est mon amour, mon meilleur ami et le seul homme dont j’ai besoin. Ensuite, à ceux qui me prétendent dévastée, je vais très bien merci. Ce genre d’inventions aberrantes ne m’affecte en aucun cas. Et pour finir, à la “presse”, à tous les haters, trolls et consorts qui ont le jugement si rapide je vous souhaite sincèrement… un prompt rétablissement. Ceci dit et un peu plus sérieusement, je souhaite à Angelina et Brad, deux personnes pour qui j’ai un profond respect, de trouver la paix dans ce moment tumultueux. Avec tout mon amour. Marion

Well yeah, just like I predicted, everyone is denying this until the cows come home. But I suppose everyone in the media/reality will always question it unless there’s some kind of live polygraph or DNA test. That’s never going to happen though is it?

It’s a classy move from Cotillard to address the rumours head on via her social media account rather than through a publicist or someone however, so props to her for that one. Let’s hope the fallout from all this doesn’t go on for too long, although I can probably see it going on for at least a year as more and more revelations surface.

For more Brad Pitt, check out the time he was once in a Pringles commercial. You’ve come a long way baby.
